Email accounts are one of the key things attached to our personal profile, our most important messages & linked to all of our online accounts. Losing access to this not only means a lot of personal information is potentially being accessed, but also you are very likely to have other accounts taken over. The ramifications can be disastrous.
The most important thing in any of this situation is to seek professional help as soon as possible. The longer a hacker has access to an email address, the more damage that can be done & with an email address, that can be a lot. Contact us today to see what options you have available.
Similar to all forms of account recovery, there are various factors that can make it extremely difficult to regain access. Some of these factors include the mail provider, the skill of the hacker, whether other recovery methods are still in place or the support networks available.
It is so very important to try & get your email recovered as soon as possible to ensure that all of your other accounts do not have breach opportunities. If you are stuck with an email account that has been hacked, we highly encourage getting in touch with our team as soon as possible.
Business emails are extremely important. The longer they are taken over, the more damage they can do to your attached accounts & to your customer base with full reign to contact anyone affiliated with your business. The damages & downtime can turn a business upside down.
Fortunately, the nature of business emails have a few more opportunities for recovery available as opposed to personal emails. So we could potentially have your email accounts under control much faster & your business saving thousands in lost income.
Of course, when it comes to business, the best approach to security is to always be proactive as almost every occasion, a firm security strategy is always going to outweigh the losses of downtime.
In our experience, we have found a lot of email systems that are both commonly targeted & prone to breaches. As a result, while utilising their mail services, there will always be vulnerabilities to be exploited.
For this reason, we highly encourage talking to us about your current email systems so we can best determine whether the email can be practically secured enough to be safe, or if you should move onto a new service.
There are 2 likely scenarios here.
Either your email has legitimately been compromised & someone is using your identity to defame you or exploit other people.
Alternatively, this could be a phishing tactic in which scammers are using your name along with a similar or false email to impersonate you.
Either way, this situation is tough & can mean varying levels of concern for you individually. We would highly recommend getting in touch with our team for some advice.
Yes & No. Data & Privacy has always been a grey area in so many regards. In order to remain as private as possible, there needs to be high level account security, encryption in transit, trust in the service provider & also understanding of the relevant privacy laws for the location of the provider.
The simple answer is, nothing is completely out of the restriction of authorised parties, but accessibility can be significantly reduced with the right services & security implementation. Contact us to find out how.
Emails are spammed more now than ever with attempts & phishing almost becoming a constant thing. Unfortunately, the nature of emails is anyone that gets hold of your email address does have the capability to send you whatever they please. With large database leaks from major companies we have accounts with becoming a common thing, it is likely that your email is already out there being targeted. So marketing spam & phishing amongst other 'darker' material is an inevitability.
The key is to filter out as much as possible that are not legitimate & to reduce your risk of interacting with emails that can do you harm. This is a combination of smart software systems & education. Get in touch with us to find out your best method of reducing your risks while operating emails.
We are located in the heart of Southport at the address 15 Welch St, shop 8, Southport.
